Report assembled Oct 13, 2026 · Source observations are dated below
  1. PROBLEM
    Drivers were placed out of service twice in 2025 for operating a truck without a valid commercial driver's licence

    FMCSA's safety profile covers the 24 months to 2026-09-25 (read 2026-10-09). It shows 13 roadside inspections, and 3 of them ended with the driver placed out of service: 23.1%, against a 6.67% national average. All three were in Maryland. On 2025-10-06 and 2025-12-16 a driver was operating a commercial vehicle without a valid CDL (both stops involved the same New Hampshire-plated truck). On 2025-12-21 the driver had no record of duty status. Other cited violations did not put anyone out of service: record-of-duty-status (logbook) violations on 2025-07-18 in North Carolina and 2025-11-14 in Maryland, and failing to obey a traffic-control device in New York on 2026-08-12. Vehicle out-of-service rate: 0 of 6. Crashes: none. FMCSA investigations: none recorded. Enforcement penalties in six years: none.

    This is a small sample of 13 inspections. Driver Fitness measure 2.00 and Hours-of-Service measure 1.10 (11 to 20 relevant inspections); no percentile appeared in the page text. The record does not say whether the two CDL violations involved the same driver.

    An out-of-service order for driving without a valid CDL means that driver could not lawfully operate that truck until the problem was fixed.

    Before booking: Ask who will drive your truck and confirm that they hold a valid CDL if the truck requires one.

  2. COULD NOT VERIFY
    New York state-court records were not fully searched

    New York's court search systems, NYSCEF and WebCivil Local, require an hCaptcha (2026-10-09), so no state-court search was submitted. Two leads come from secondary sources. First, a Trellis page reproduces a NYSCEF filing notice in a Kings County Supreme Court case, Index No. 519292/2026. The company, as JOHN P URBAN MOVING, INC. d/b/a JP URBAN MOVING, is the plaintiff in a commercial contract case filed 2026-05-21 against individual defendants. Trellis listed it as active (read 2026-10-09). Second, a UniCourt search excerpt (captured 2026-09-02) lists a 2020-02-04 Kings County Civil Court case, Luxe Credit Consultants LLC v. JP Urban Moving LLC. Neither was confirmed from the court's own records. A federal-docket search found one case, described separately.

    This is a limit of this report, not a finding that no state lawsuits or judgments exist. What the 2026 case and the 2020 case are about, and how they stand, was not read.

    Before booking: If court history matters for your move, search the company names on NYSCEF or WebCivil, or ask the company about the 2026 Kings County case.

  3. NOTE
    Two addresses in use: a Brooklyn office and a Nashua, New Hampshire principal office registered in 2025

    The website contact page lists two addresses: 266 St. Marks Avenue, 3FL, Brooklyn and 11 Pinehill Ave, Nashua, NH (captured 2026-10-09). FMCSA's SAFER snapshot shows the Nashua address as the physical address and the Brooklyn street as the mailing address (read 2026-10-09). That mailing entry carries the Nashua ZIP code 03064 instead of Brooklyn's 11238. FMCSA's household-goods registry and safety profile use 266 St Marks Ave, Brooklyn 11238. The company registered in New Hampshire on 2025-08-14; the New Hampshire record lists 11 Pine Hill Avenue as its principal office. Roadside inspections from October 2025 onward involve New Hampshire-plated trucks. Earlier ones mostly involve New York plates, plus one Virginia plate. NYC land-use data shows 266 St. Marks Avenue is a four-family walk-up with no commercial floor area (building class C3, zoning R6B). An earlier capture of the website (2026-10-09 05:47 UTC) also listed 312 Third Avenue, Brooklyn 11215, which NYC land-use data classes as a self-storage warehouse; the company's relationship to that building is not established.

    No dated street imagery or Nashua property record was inspected. Where trucks are kept and where moves are dispatched from were not established. The ZIP-code mismatch looks like a data-entry error in FMCSA's record, not a second location.

    The Brooklyn address is in a residential building, so it can serve only as an office or mailing address, not a truck yard or warehouse.

    Before booking: Ask which office will handle your move and where your goods will be kept if storage is needed.

  4. NOTE
    Two reviews appear on both Trustpilot and BBB, and one Trustpilot reviewer shares the president's surname

    All 19 Trustpilot and BBB reviews on file are five-star. One text was posted on BBB on 2023-10-18 and on Trustpilot on 2023-10-19, and a BBB review and a Trustpilot review dated 2023-10-21 share nearly identical wording. So 19 reviews represent at most 17 independent accounts. One Trustpilot five-star review (2026-04-24) is posted under a name sharing the company president's surname. Thirteen of the 14 Trustpilot reviewers have written only this one review. All texts were captured 2026-10-09.

    Posting one review on two sites is common and is not manipulation. A shared surname does not establish a family or business relationship. These signals do not show that reviews are fake.

  5. NOTE
    Two former movers filed a 2021 wage lawsuit, dismissed by agreement four months later

    On 2021-08-31 two men who had worked for the company as movers and packers in 2020 and 2021 sued JP Urban Moving, LLC and [name withheld] in federal court in Brooklyn (E.D.N.Y. case 1:21-cv-04908). They filed a class and collective complaint under the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law. It alleged unpaid overtime, unpaid wages from rounding down hours, and that the owner kept the tips customers gave the crews after each job. The defendants answered on 2021-12-03. On 2022-01-03 the court So Ordered the parties' stipulation of dismissal. The docket and complaint were read 2026-10-09.

    These are allegations. The docket shows no finding of liability, and the dismissal terms were not read. The defendant was the 2010 LLC, J P URBAN MOVING, LLC, with its owner, not the 2015 corporation that holds the current federal registration.

    Required $750,000 liability coverage is on file with FMCSA; filing history could not be read

    FMCSA's MOTUS record for household-goods authority MC882954, saved 2026-10-09, shows $750,000 of bodily-injury and property-damage liability on file, which meets the $750,000 requirement. It lists filed amounts of $5,000 and $750,000, and a blanket process-agent (BOC-3) filing. FMCSA's Licensing and Insurance system, which holds insurer names, effective dates and cancellation history, required a challenge question and reCAPTCHA on 2026-10-09, so it was not read.

    Current filings were confirmed. Insurer names, effective dates and any past cancellations were not read.

    Before booking: Ask for a certificate of insurance and the valuation (protection) options for your move.

    The NY Department of State's active-corporations data (updated 2026-10-09) lists JOHN P URBAN MOVING, INC. (DOS ID 4698511), a domestic business corporation filed in Kings County on 2015-01-22, with [name withheld] as chief executive. The New Hampshire Secretary of State lists the same corporation as a foreign profit corporation in Good Standing (Business ID 1000137).

Its principals are [name withheld] (Chief Executive Officer) and [name withheld] (Director), both at 266 St. Marks Avenue, Apt. 3, Brooklyn. A separate New York company, J P URBAN MOVING, LLC (DOS ID 4017409, filed 2010-11-09, same Brooklyn address), also appears in the active data.

    Business registration is not a mover licence. The NY dataset lists active entities as of its monthly extract, not a dated certificate of good standing. The relationship between the 2010 LLC and the 2015 corporation is not established.

On 2026-10-09 we read two selected samples, 91 unique reviews in all: the 60 newest (2026-02-12 to 2026-10-07) and the 60 lowest-rated. Every review below five stars is in that sample: five 1-star, one 3-star and two 4-star. Of the 1-star reviews, three have no text (2016, 2023, 2025), one says only "never forget 9/11" (2026), and one says calls were not returned (2021). The owner replied to three of them, saying it had no record of the reviewer as a customer. None describes damage, loss, a price dispute or a held shipment. The 60 newest reviews include 59 five-star reviews, at about 7 to 8 a month with no more than 2 on any day, and no near-duplicate text. The owner replied to about 87% of them.

    These are selected samples, not the full 348. A favourable sample does not establish that reviews are authentic. Yelp's 489 reviews could not be read.

What we checked

3 passed2 caution
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 13, 2026. Carrier, broker and freight-forwarder authority are separate categories. This federal result does not determine its eligibility for in-state moves; see the separate state-registry check.
  • Federal interstate household-goods carrier authority
    The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 13, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
  • State household-goods licence
    New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) carrier record lists number 38181 as active (checked Oct 9, 2026). The record does not show whether it covers household goods; confirm household-goods authority with the state before an in-state move.
  • Federal BIPD insurance filing (dated record)
    On-file BIPD amount ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 13, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
  • Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record
    4 cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. In each case FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 19 filing records for these 13 filings; 6 later records on filings that had already ended are listed but not counted.
